Book Review: The Unofficial Author’s Guide to Selling Your Book on Amazon

Considering the price of this eBook (free!) it would’ve been at least unpolite to mention any CONs of it. However, I don’t remember any. I read it with pleasure and learned something along the way. And there are multiple of The Unofficial Author’s Guide to Selling Your Book on Amazon… PROs 1. Short and to […]

Book Review: Awaken The Starlight Within

Book Review: Awaken The Starlight Within

Awaken the Starlight Within isn’t the usual personal development book. It is hard to categorize. If I’d needed to put any label on it, it’d be “philosophical book.” The English word philosophy comes from the Greek word philosophia which means “love of wisdom.” And love of wisdom is the most apt description of this book. […]

Book Review: Bootstrap Entrepreneur

Book Review: Bootstrap Entrepreneur

I loved Bootstrap Entrepreneur; no wonder – I’m interested in business, history, and I have an IT background. And I love good stories. The only complaint about this book I have is that I feel like there was a chapter missing in Bootstrap Entrepreneur. Chapter 12 finished with a cliffhanger; John’s company had been facing […]

Book Review: The Vacation Effect for Entrepreneurs

Book Review: The Vacation Effect for Entrepreneurs

The Vacation Effect for Entrepreneurs is a small book, but worth its weight in gold. I already knew quite a few, various how-tos because I read another of Denise’s books back in 2022, The Busy Entrepreneur’s Guide To Creating A Lifestyle Business. I still found some golden nuggets in The Vacation Effect for Entrepreneurs. While […]

Book Review: Use Your Job to Quit Your Job

Book Review: Use Your Job to Quit Your Job

  This is a very neat book, and I’m extremely grateful that it didn’t exist 10 years ago when I decided to start a side hustle. Why? With the help of Use Your Job to Quit Your Job, I would have probably succeeded with some IT-related enterprise, because I had worked in IT back then. […]

Book Review: Before You Begin

Book Review: Before You Begin

Jacob Coldwell is quickly becoming my new favorite author. I was delighted with his book, Listen Simply. I was even more impacted by Before You Begin. The only CON I found in this book (and Listen Simply shares this affliction) is the speaker’s framework it sticks to: Tell them what you’re going to tell them, […]

Book Review: The Happy Minimalist

Book Review: The Happy Minimalist

  I really liked this small book. It has the best qualities of a self-published book – personal stories and relatable experiences, plus no beating around the bush or beating the dead horse. I read the whole book in about an hour and can move forward with my life. However, it wasn’t perfect, so – […]

Book Review: Listen Simply

Book Review: Listen Simply

I’ll start this review from a story from my coaching training. One fellow was repeatedly frustrated by the simplicity of the whole coaching process. He said multiple times: “If people just kept talking with each other, this whole ‘coaching thing’ would have been unnecessary!” He was almost right. If people kept talking with each other […]
